I’m still waiting for them to get out NiGHTS into Dream… and Sonic Adventure 2 onto Steam like they promise.

I always like it when SEGA does incredibly Japanese things like this to remind me they’re a Japanese company. SEGA has always seemed a company that has focused on Western appeal as much as Japanese appeal, if not more. Much like Capcom. Having a radically different philosophy toward gaming and gaming aesthetics than Nintendo since the beginning. Nintendo trying to be a gaming comfort food and household name, Sony trying to be a jack of all trades, SEGA, for the most part, had an image of coolness that was mostly just camp, that it tried to project. Often at the expense of being more Japanese. Also on sort of a “mature” audience since the whole Mortal Kombat and SEGA CD filth back then.

Even games based in Japan like Jet Set Radio had a heavy emphasis and inspiration by America and American pop culture, hip hop in particular. So it’s always interesting and fun when SEGA shows incredibly Japanese colours with franchises like PuyoPuyo, Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia, and of course, games like Shenmue, Yakuza, and Virtua Fighter.

PuyoPuyo is always the sort of thing I wanted more out of out of SEGA and more of in the West. It’s just so unabashedly Japanese and cute, and doesn’t give a flying care if it is hip or cool or not. I already own Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine on Steam thanks to SEGA, but honestly, if I want to play PuyoPuyo, I’d rather just play PuyoPuyo. Once SEGA finally get done with bringing Sonic Adventure 2 and NiGHTS into Dream… over to Steam, I’d like to see the likes of Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, and the PuyoPuyo franchise brought over, too. Magical Drop is coming over, so I don’t see why not.

Anyway, for whatever system, I want all of the PuyoPuyo games. They’re just too cute to pass up. Also $4 is not a bad price.

I just want more Puyo Puyo games in general on the 3DS. And in general, general.

Can you tell I love this series? If you fancy a fast paced puzzle game, I don’t see how you could go wrong. Puyo Pop Fever was pretty much the last game we got here in the west, and if you got a Wii, you can grab the Gamecube version pretty cheap. Ironically the exact version you saw in Genshiken! Just…don’t get so addicted your girlfriend must resort to cosplaying as a Puyo to get your attention again. ;)

Thanks for the reply. I like the art and it looks pretty interesting so maybe I’ll check it out.
